In general, I think it is pretty straight forward to go from PDF |
| 2 |
to postscript, and PDF seems easier to access for Windows users, |
| 3 |
so if you can store a PDF file as your displayable format then |
| 4 |
I don't think you need to also store the postscipt. |

There are occasions, however, when PDF output isn't an option |
| 7 |
and so postcript is necessary. For example, I have yet |
| 8 |
to find a way to get TeX ducuments which include TeXdraw diagrams |
| 9 |
into PDF without losing all the graphics. |

Does anyone know if gs or something similar is available for |
| 12 |
windows? |
